Love Love Love this TV
By TGregory on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2020
I bought this 85in. model because I never wanted to say "I wish I had gotten the bigger one.". It is giant and you would expect the image to show every imperfection when the size of peoples heads are 3x to 4x larger than real life. Well the technology and performance this TV delivers is unbelievable. I see zero artifacts or image degradation. The 4K process combined with the 12x Arrays create an almost surreal image. When we watch shows we have seen before the video looks more like live images or you are looking through a window. The broadcast has to be pretty bad for the processor not to majorly improve the poor image. This would be something like a live news broadcast with someone on a poor Webex video feed or worse. The builtin audio speakers really superb with voices coming directly from who is talking and its ability to boost speak over background sounds. I just figured out how to connect my legacy Bose Sound System using the Optical out to an audio converter that takes optical in to RCA outs. Works fine but the TV speakers are so pure I switched back and will use this optical audio for movies with bigger than life sound. Later I will probably buy the matching Samsung soundbar system that has the wireless rear speaker option. So I forgot to mention the color is near perfect. The image quality is better than the feed. No motion artifacts or any other image imperfections I can detect. Great sound especially voices. Bigger than life image that seems more like your watching through a window. The only Con is the pathetic remote which Samsung needs to improve with direct buttons for functions so the hard to navigate remote is faster and quicker. Yes I know people usually use the cable box remote but changing inputs or setting should not be so tedious. Their Samsung SmartThings app is okay but could be better since its function is only basic with no programming guide access. Considering the Price/Performance of this Model, I will be enjoying it for the next 10+ years I am sure.

Quality control issues
By Blacksmithking on Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2020
I've tried more than a few 49" Q80Ts from various vendors. #1 had two dead pixels that developed within a month. #2 had a quarter-sized welt on the screen, perhaps damage from shipping. #3 has vertical banding from DSE (the other sets were much cleaner). #4 was a keeper until it developed a dead pixel just slightly off-center overnight. The picture is gorgeous and bright, so it's the set I want, but the defects are disheartening. I'm currently using #3, the best of the worst, until I'm prepared to risk another purchase. 05/21/20 - I went through 6 of these things. All had at least 1 dead pixel. The last had over a dozen dead pixels. What's going on with Samsung?
